Running Pictures

Hi guys.I have been taking pics a good while now.This pic was taken last weekend and i am fairly dissapointed with it.I am using a fast shutter speed and an iso of about 200 to 400 in this set.I use A1 servo and spot focus.I never seem to get crystal pics and I cant blame my equipment.Can anyone tell mwe what I am doing wrong.i am adding a couple of pics and a link to my Flickr page.Also does anyone know of anyone out there who does training one on one for a reasonable cost.

Sorry lads and lassies,the pic did not upload but any picture in the attached set will give the same impression.Ps they look perfect in the camera screen??
There is something drastically wrong with either the camera or your processing as the exposure/detail is funny looking. What equipment are you using?
Spot focus wouldn’t be great to be using either for something like this where there is a lot of white and black in the runners tops/numbers. Where are you based? If you are in the Dublin/Kildare area I can go through it with you if you want.Hi Ballyman,I am using a Canon 60d with an 18 200mm is lens.i was using spot focus ,mostly 640 shutter speed. i was in tv mode most of the pictures,but looking back through all my pics i get the same results.I am based near Monasterevin and could travel to Kildare.I am free most mornings.i was using spot focus but i have used other focus modes before with not much success,i am very much an amateur as you can see.I can be contacted here or on facebook,Jimmy Mac.
With the picts you posted, you have stripped out the EXIF so it’s hard to examine the settings you used.
If you’re using centre point only to focus then you should try to focus on the upper body to give decent focus. Looks like you had decent light, but maybe set your ISO to 400. Use an open enough aperture, like f/4 and then set a good fast shutter speed like 1/400 or better.
Turn on AI Servo tracking more, turn off any IS on your lens.
After that, it’s trial and error.
